"A Complicated Betrothal" (Love Letters)
(From CharlotteAshmore's "Love Letters")
We began with a price
To save your life
I asked for your hand in marriage
Reluctance by the King
Your father
But alas he had no choice
Ecstatic I was for your hand
Complications of the contract
No contact unless through method
Letters after letters were written
We exchanged
The secrets we revealed
Our feelings we shared
soon turned to something else
Fear and insecurities held us back
So did a stubborn King
As well as my respect of the contract
Though nothing can change
Nothing could diminish what is
It is love
Until your eighteenth birthday we are wed.
